Tips & Substitutions
For a unique twist, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cherry filling before wrapping. If you prefer a healthier version, substitute half of the sugar with a natural sweetener like honey or agave syrup. You can also use whole wheat tortillas for a more wholesome alternative. Ensure the tortillas are warm and pliable to prevent tearing while wrapping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh cherries instead of canned pie filling?
Yes, you can use fresh cherries! Simply pit and slice about 4 cups of fresh cherries, then mix with sugar and a bit of cornstarch to create a filling. This will give a fresher taste and allow you to control the sweetness.
What can I do if my tortillas break while wrapping?
If your tortillas are breaking, try warming them slightly in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or on a skillet to increase their pliability. Additionally, using tortillas that are fresh and soft will help prevent tearing.
Is it possible to make this recipe vegan?
Absolutely! To make it vegan, substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative, such as coconut oil or vegan butter. Additionally, you can use maple syrup or another vegan sweetener in place of sugar for a delicious twist.
